On March 15, 1951, a meeting of the congregation was held in the C.E.A.A. Hall in Salmon Cove with Rev. Hunt of Spaniard's Bay acting a chairman. Rev. Hunt informed the congregation that the Executive of Synod ad given permission to the previous application to rebuild "All Saints ", the Church to be built according to the plan of the Botwood Church.
In June/July 1951, Rev. Canon Hugh W. Facey was appointed Rector of the parish of Brigus-Salmon Cove. Mr. Moses Wells, a Salmon Cove resident Parishioner, was appointed foreman to build All Saints Church. A building committee was appointed to oversee the work of building the new Church.
Chester Dawe & Sons was chosen to supply all the materials. Work progressed through 1951 with Moses Wells as foreman. When the exterior of the Church was almost completed, Mr. Wells took sick and Mr. Herbert Morgan of Burnt Head, Cupids, was appointed in Mr. Wells' place to finish the Church. The new Church was consecrated on. In later years, under Canon Facey, interior panelling was installed. This work was done by Mark Gosse & Sons Ltd. of Spaniard's Bay. Originally, this Church was known as All Saints of Salmon Cove but due to constant confusion between this community and the community of Salmon Cove, Carbonear , it was decided to change the community name from Salmon Cove to South River |
